050830_gas_pricesNow that we have talked a little bit about the prices of gas, let’s talk about what these prices actually mean.  Honestly, the price of gas right now is extremely high yet people do not seem to care because they are used to it … which is weird right?  Back in the day, gas prices were right around a dollar and now they are well past two dollars and even up to almost three dollars.

The sad thing is the fact that hybrids and other electric cars sales are not even picking up – to me, that is something that strikes me as odd.  To be perfectly honest, why not buy a brand new hybrid or even a more fuel efficient car in order to save some money on gas?

The reason – I personally think is because people do not want to change their ways and they are scare of hybrids.
